Hello,
This is the problem. Drawing files are created using a template of layers linestylyes etc.
Said files are then xreffed into other files. However as said file has not been purged of layers etc not used, they all turn up in the referenced files layer manager, of course.
So then said file is purged, audited, saved and reloaded. Layer manager still shows all the layers prior to the purge. However if I detach and reattach the reference, bingo it works. Unfortunately detach reattach is a PITA on this project due to the non existent drafting disciplines used. Is there a better way, or do I put up with the ever expanding Layer manager? (I have been away from Acad for some time, using Revit, but something tells me this has been an ongoing issue with Acad).
